You think the Minutemen are vigilantes? Well, ok, granted, but I support them. What do you think of this group

Sashie

Sounds good on paper ... but I'd really like to know more about them before I can judge ... so let's say I'm sitting on the fence on this one until I learn more ....

lucyanddesi

I support them 100 percent. Only with groups like this will we get those nosepickers in Washington to DO THEIR STINKING JOBS!

Berzerker

The Minute Men do the job that the cowardly politicians are afraid to.

Angels Raising Hell

somebody has to protect our borders. why have borders if they are not protected ?

luvcowboys

this is the start. this is what happens when you piss off armchair americans. small groups with simple rules that folow the letter of the law. oh and I have a box of snickers and coke ready for the viedoo. oh and this is not vigalantism, this is Americans who REALLY care about your future.

ChrisJ

its about time someone does something.

Didn't go look at the web site. But sounds good.Maybe more people ought to make citizens arrest for more crimes than that !!!

I think the Minutemen are true to there name. and "ancestory.". They are standing up to a problem our government is having problems with seeing. They are upholding their rights set forth to the American people. More power to them. Let them do the job others can't and let them publiclly humiliate those that oppose the popular concensus. Vigilante justice is not a new form of justice, just a different form that is more down to earth with the people they swear to protect. They have interests for themselves, their familys, their prosperiety, And I commend them for it.

at least they are doing something to try and stop the flood of criminals into our country...............

socalrogueling

I've actually read reports that this entire group is bogus and not a real group at all.

Hold em Rox.

I have checked out their site before and let me just say I was impressed !! They (citizens) will have to watch every move they make, but I like how they are trying to take back their city/town !! I said it before and will say it again.... These people ROCK and it makes me want to move there !!!!!
I love this part of their site !!...............

Shame on You

Americans talk about being a Nation of Laws. Weâ€™re becoming a nation of law breakers! Shame on America. Shame on George Bush who wonâ€™t enforce the law. Shame on the Border Patrol.

Soon America may be in chaos as those illegals import their corrupt ways and their culture which is nothing more than dog eat dog stealing and payola. Do you want to pay for their multiple childrens education, free healthcare at our hospitals, etc. They have no work ethic and they hate Americans. Do you want a Socialist State where no one cares and there is no pride with Americans forced to live like third world countries. Mud huts are next - garage your truck, because it may soon be in Mexico.

If you donâ€™t see it that way, shame on you for being naive. Shame on you for being complacent and doing nothing; itâ€™s destroying America.

I think they are a reaction to so many illegal aliens entering the US and they will probably grow or more groups like them will spring up.From what I hear they have caused no one harm, only pointing illegals out to authorities. the real problem is Mexico for the most part. Mexico is a corrupt state as the recent elections show, I know many mexicans and they know there is no hope that the government will ever represent the people. Its all about the money in Mexico and getting more that way here in the US.

I don't mind private individuals or groups keeping tabs on the border, or looking out for illegal border crossings. That's no different than the average neighborhood watch.

The question is, what do they do when they see someone. The actions described above in your quote more reflect a group that intends to take the law into their own hands, and that doesn't understand how the law actually works. Add weaponry to that mix, and it's a potentially dangerous combination.

Not having met or talked with any individuals, I'll reserve judgment on how much of their platform is bravado, and how much is fanaticism.

This kind on stuff always happens when the government doesn't do their job, they don't bother with the illegals in San Diego, in fact they find them places to live. The Border Patrol no's exactly where they are, but they don't do anything, I like the minute men, but I don't no anything about this group. Are they acutally police officers moonlighting. If they are police officers then they can arrest them. But then they will probabley let the illegals sue the police officers, like the illegal that is sueing the 2 Border Partol officers.

Aleksandr

This is an armed group of reactionaries. If they point guns at people, it is a crime. If they shoot, it is murder. Under Bush's wide definition, they are definitely a terrorist group, and I would not be surprised if, assuming they are competent enough to find any illegal aliens crossing the border, this could end in murder.

fact checker

these are not the people on the border and i want illegal immigration stopped right now but hate groups shoving their noses in will have the opposite effect oppression doesn't go over well with Americans ( We need the government to get off their ****s and ACT ) AND i don't take any web-site seriously if you can't stand up and be counted you are cr*p in my eyes )

scott n

These people are frustrated. When a wrong is commited, a reasonable expectation is our law enforcement officials will right it. When the wrong continues...and the answer is our law enforcement is overwhelmed......some people say......I will volunteer to help you......

red dragon

Well that might be what it will take to wake up Washington, but on the flip side of it ,I don't want anyone on either side of it to be injured during this. I really pray this can be done peacefully.

Daisy

I find this sort of thing a little bit possibly scarey, but I can understand it happening in light of the government not doing their job properly. I think I will also watch a bit and see how it goes.

actionsinglemale

I support them 100% but I also think that they should be able to defend our country to with fire arms. All they are doing is protecting our country unlike our government.

GrimReaper1546

Well, considering the fact that they're mostly made up of either racist people, blue-collar workers, and or people of immigrant ancestry *cough* Hispanic Americans *cough*...

I think I'll comment by saying: These people have the right to protect a land that is theirs (even though they stole it back when the first people were from Europe)... and the Minutemen are technically vigilantes who believe their work will actually cause a movement...

While little Minutemen and complaining Americans (I'm American by the way) say this and that about this situation...

It'll never end.... As long as people need cocaine, heroin, and marijuana... then there will be illegal immigration... it will NEVER stop.

Justsyd

It's just not true. I've lived on the border. People are making this up. The Minutemen are simply not acting like this.

Love America

da minutemaid is a working ppl. no like some ppl here, who only cry & cry & don't move da azz to do nothing

Stomp

When Bush learns about it he will declare them 'vigilantes.' If it's real, we'll see how far they get in the real world! There are too many computer tough macho sites. I find it amusing that the same ones who criticize those illegally crossing the border, will endorse breaking the law in this instance. Funny how that works!

Sashie, smart call!

PANCHA

I don't agree with vigilante justice.
